"Miller, Miller Are you alright" James said.
Miller opened his eyes and he saw that he was in a strange area, the walls were black and were not as rocky as the prisons were. There was what looked like a big screen facing them. The screen was what helped them see the matches that were going on at the arena.
"I am fine" said Miller to Edward still feeling a little weak. "What about him?" miller said while pointing at the Officer.
"He has a lot on his mind, that is why he was just quiet" James replied. ever since they arrived on this planet, the officer had been thinking of a way for them to escape and now he was thinking more than ever.
'why did they have to make us sleep, is there an easy way out of the prison that they don't want us to know about' he thought to himself while holding his chin.
The sound of doors opening could be heard as five Mevorotrians worked in who was guarding Balcurus.
"I believe you have been informed of the rules, you have to kill your opponent, IT'S A FIGHT TILL DEATH".
The prisoners started murmuring among themselves. "Quiet!" Balcurus shouted and they all came quiet as they did not want to offend Balcurus.
"The match is about to start and you all have to pick your names, the name you pick will be what will represent you in this tournament and will uphold a legacy for you" Balcurus said and he left immediately.
"so what name are you going to pick" Miller asked James and the officer. The officer did not respond, he did not even behave like someone was talking to him and this offended James, but he had to calm himself down, because if this guy actually knew a way out of this hell, he did not want to pick a fight with such a person.
"We do not even know your true name, please what is your name" James asked the officer.
"Why is my name a priority, our main focus should be how to leave this hell" the officer said in an annoyed tone.
"Agreed" James replied trying to calm down his own anger.
"So what name can you give me" James said this out loud, although these words were actually intended to be directed to Edmund inside their head.
"Blue Heat" Miller replied.
"Harbinger of death" Edmund replied.
From the two answers it was clear which one James was going to pick. "Blue Heat, i like that name" James said.
But in reality James did not like it, the name sounded a bit childish and he did not want to pick the name given to him by Edmund which was harbinger of death. James really has no intention to kill, if there was another way to win the tournament he was ready to do so.
Zabat had been sitting on the floor quietly, Miller looked at Zabat and he starded to notice something strange about him, Zabat who had a rocky skin was now turning to Metal. The same Metal looking substance that covered the arena.
"Zabat are you okay" Miller asked in a worried tone. James and the officer turned their heads and looked towards Zabat's direction and noticed that he was not looking well.
"Don't worry, it's just my ability, my species adapt to the environment around us. In the prison i have a rocky body because the prison is made of rocks, but here i have a body that is similar to what this unknown substance that is used to build this place that i have no clue of" Zabat said.
"Is this not Metal" James asked looking at Zabat.
"No it isn't, i have scanned with my System AI and it is telling me it's unknown it's an alien device unknown to mankind" The Officer replied to James.
"Wow that's a cool power" Miller said to Zabat trying to change the topic. He was mostly focused on Zabat's ability not what this place was made of.
"It isn't cool, if my palms touch something that is weak, if my hands touch a substance that is weak it would affect me badly in this fight" Zabat said. "I have to find a way to survive in this fight i cannot just depend on this".
Miller wanted to reply but before he could do so the doors were opened and that brought the attention of everyone in the room.
"The match is about to begin but before we start, the first two participants must fight first which is James and Getrax" one of the Mevorotrians said. Five Mevorotrians came to the room with what looked like a gun in their hands.
"What are the names you have chosen to be called at the tournament" The Mevorotrian asked.
"Call me the Eliminator" Getrax said with his deep voice while holding his sword by his side and also smiling at James and he also gave him a wink.
"Good name, I hope you can stand up to it" the Mevorotrians said. "And as for your James, what name do you pick?
"Blue Heat" James replied. The Mevorotrians, after hearing the name, had almost laughed but held it back. The name sounded stupid to even them.
"okay, the first match would be between Blue Heat and The Eliminator" the Mevorotrians said. "follow me so that you can select your weapons"
Getrax was confused as to why he needed a weapon, he already had one so why would he need another. But If this was a way for him to get new weapons to add to his collections, then he would do it gladly.
They both followed the Mevorotrians and the Mevorotrians lead them to a separate room filled with weapons. James was amazed as to the kinds of weapons that were stationed there. Weapons he could not imagine.
"Which one do you think we need" James asked Edmund. Since James and Edmund were sharing thesame body, it was right for him to ask which weapon they needed.
"I told you from the start i am not interested in helping that boy, but since we are going against Getrax i would help" Edmund replied. "But honestly we have to ask Mevorotrians, because we have no clue"
"Okay so what weapons fit me the most" James asked the Mevorotrians.
One of them pointed at what looked like an hand glove and gave it to James. James wore it immediately and he could feel some power rushing throw his body.
Getrax on the other hand went to take three more swords that were larger and looked more stronger than the ones he had.
(Note: Remember Getrax has four arms, so he is capable of using four swords at a time).
"So you can all leave now so that others can come and pick their weapons" the Mevorotrians said.
One Mevorotrians escorted James and Getrax to another room, the room was the way to the tournament.

Inside the Stadium, Balcurus stood up and started speaking:
"Greetings my fellow living beings, this is a day we have all been waiting, The deathly tournament, where opponent fight till death and the last one standing wins a prize and is set free". Immediately Balcurus said those words, they started praising and cheering him.
"i am not yet done, the match is about to start and the first participants are"
A brief moment of silence fell upon the crowd as everyone eagerly anticipated who would come out first.
"BLUE HEAT V. THE ELIMINATOR"
